Guest directed by Angela Masi of Basking Ridge, "CAMELOT" will be an interactive experience performed at beautiful Schaffer Hall, St. Mary's Episcopal Church, 8 Conestoga Trail, Sparta, NJ.

Through the eyes of eight revelers, "Camelot: The Small Cast Version" tells the familiar and timeless tale of the Round Table and the idealistic King Arthur's vision of a world where might is used in the service of justice. Hope begins to unravel, though, when his beloved Queen Guenevere falls into tragic love with his greatest knight and best friend, Lancelot, and when Arthur's illegitimate son Mordred arrives in Camelot and begins stirring up dissent among the knights. Can Arthur's dream survive?

Guest director Angela Masi, says she loves watching people's faces when she brings up Camelot. Either they light up because they have a fond memory connected to it, or they sort of smile/grimace with pity because they know Camelot is long and boring. This production is out to shake up both groups of people. This production is getting down in the dirt with who these characters, and especially Arthur, really are. We're going to be whispering in the audience's ears, planting our own thoughts for them to accept or rebel against, and maybe even stealing a delicious tapas off of their plates while we're at it. This is a no-boundaries presentation of a story that is immediately necessary in today's culture. What is right and what is just, and how the two things are not necessarily the same.

The "CAMELOT" cast and crew includes Alison Endee (Bedminster) as Guenevere, Sally O'Sullivan (Oak Ridge) as Lancelot, Phil Cocilovo (Montague) as Arthur, Melissa Honeywell (Highland Lakes) and Gavin Birmingham (Andover Twp) as Dap and Mordred, Walter Stanek (Byram) as Sir Dinadan, Chris Motto (Newton) as Sir Sagramore, Skylar Tomlin (Franklin) as Sir Lionel, Solomon Honeywell (Highland Lakes) as Tom

Ensemble: Stephen Burke (Secaucus), Isabella Cruz (Vernon), Claire Dempsey (Morristown), Jennifer Gallagher (Weehawken), and Lillian Farrell (Sparta).
